4 speakeasies in Gdańsk our editors have drunk at, sorted by score. All Gdańsk nightlife.
Flisak '76 in Gdańsk's Main Town is the subterranean cocktail bar on ul. Chlebnicka run by the third generation of the Rathnau family since 1976, with the current Greatest Show vintage-circus concept and presentations in perfume bottles and tiny cannons.
TipWalk down the stairs at Chlebnicka 9/10, no sign at the door. Cocktails 38-55 PLN; the Clown with gin, strawberry and shiso is the order.
Craft Cocktails on ul. Szeroka in Gdańsk's Main Town is the dim-lit chandelier-and-leather speakeasy of bartender Krzysztof Rathnau, with 280-plus spirits, filtered iced water at every seat and a Bar of the Year programme.
TipBook the back banquette for two; the menu rotates seasonally. House Old Fashioned is the move on a quiet weekday before 22:00.
Café Absinthe relocated to ul. Korzenna in Gdańsk's Old Town in 2024, the cult absinthe bar with more than ten varieties on the back wall, a Wednesday jazz jam and weekend DJ parties that famously run past dawn.
TipDoor from 18:00 Wednesday to Saturday; the dance floor opens around 22:00. Absinthe pours 18-28 PLN, cocktails 30-45 PLN.
Józef K in Gdańsk's Main Town is the Kafka-named cult cafe-bar at the top of ul. Piwna near St Mary's, a bookshelf-ceilinged bohemian room with retro armchairs, fruit vodkas and Browar Amber pours that runs as cafe by day and bar by night.
TipAfter 22:00 it tips into bar mode; ask for the Soplica plum vodka or the signature Mr Rosewater. Cash and card both work.
